International Adolescent Health Week, celebrated yearly, is a grass-roots initiative for young people, their health care providers, their teachers, their parents, their advocates and their communities to come together to celebrate young people, with an ultimate goal of working collectively towards improving the health and well-being of the over 1 billion adolescents across the globe today.
International Adolescent Health Week was founded by Laura Offutt MD, FACP. Started as Teen Health Week in the US in 2016, IAHW grew out of the efforts of numerous adolescents and adults, schools and organizations, working together in their communities across the globe into the international observance it is today. International Adolescent Health Week is now an official event hosted by the International Association of Adolescent Health and the work is led by members of the International Association of Adolescent Health and in collaboration with the Society of Adolescent Health and Medicine.
